It was Shea Newman’s turn to wield the pickaxe as Kelton Vanhoesen took a break and watched during this year’s Honkers football work service fundraiser. The team sent a call out the community asking for house and yard projects they would complete in exchange for donations. Newman and Vanhoesen joined a group of about 12 other players helping to dig a ditch for a local resident. Coach Sean Radford said they ended up with 15 different jobs around town, raising over $1000 in the process. “It is just kind of nice for them to earn this money themselves through community service,” Coach Radford said.
